KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA — Taiwan-based Whole Power Company has found a new market outside the Taiwan military for its armored vehicle track and suspension systems. The company is exhibiting for the first time at the Defence Services Asia exhibition in Kuala Lumpur this week.

He said the company is the “sole supplier” to Taiwan’s military of the track shoe assembly, road arm assembly, wheel solid rubber tire, torsion bar, sprocket, idler, turret assembly, bridge, index internal gear, gun platform floor, and housing. Wu said the company is now looking beyond Taiwan’s shores to offer the region the same product line.

Wu said the company is in discussions with Malaysia, Pakistan, and Indonesia. There is a special interest in the region for countries, like Indonesia and Malaysia, who have FV101 Scorpion tanks and Alvis Stormer armored personnel carriers. Pakistan’s army also operates the M-113, M-88, and M-109.
